Customer Review: Great Bargain For the Average Joe
Summary: 5 Stars
I want to begin this review by stating that I am not a techno-geek. I enjoy the comforts of technology as much as most people, but I don't have to have the newest gadget when it debuts. I also don't have to have the BEST (which is usually the most expensive) equipment; I just want something that is inexpensive, durable, and dependable.
About a year ago the speakers I had for my desktop computer went dead. I liked those speakers. They were these huge Compaq speakers given to me by a cousin and were about twenty years old, but they worked and worked well for me for nearly ten years. I don't have very much extra cash, but still wanted something that worked. I ended up buying these S-120 multimedia speakers from Logitech. I've had them for almost a year now and haven't had any problems with them. They are much smaller than my old computer speakers, which has given me more space at my computer desk. They are easy to install and the volume can be adjusted by turning a small knob on one of the speakers. In regards to sound quality, you aren't going to get a surround-sound-HD type of sound, but you shouldn't expect that. It's just a basic sound quality that is well balanced between both speakers. I've read a couple reviews commenting that the speakers emit a random buzzing sound, but I've never heard that.
Overall, I really like these speakers and they have been a great bargain. Most people will probably be satisfied by these speakers, except for those technophiles and serious audiophiles.
Customer Review: Great little computer speakers
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi folks,
I know there are already alot of reviews on these speakers but, I am forced to comment on them myself.
These are really very good speakers. They were shipped by Amazon securely and very fast.
I removed these from the packaging and the very first thing I noticed was the weight, they are rather heavy for their size and it is this 'weight' that I grew up with as a prime indicator of the quality of speakers.
Next, they were ridiciously easy to hook up--plugged into the wall socket, plugged into computer headphones jack, turned on with volumne 'centered', called up iTunes and wal-la Shinedown is playing very well, very loud (for this non-shredhead).
These are, without argument, the finest computer speaker I have ever owned to date. Please remember that these are not boom-box, house designed surround-sound, $1000 speakers. For $11 what do you expect, unless they arrived non-functional (this will happen occasionally with electrical and mechanical devices) there is not any reason whatsoever to complain about these speakers. If you want louder, recording-studio sounding speakers then go spend the money for them. (besides, if you are listening louder than I do then you are going to go deaf soon)
I guess that the main reason I am writing this is to let the people who are looking for some good, quality desktop computer speakers, you can quit looking. Buy these and, under reasonable expectations, you will not be disappointed. Good luck folks.
Customer Review: Some of the best speakers I ever bought!
Summary: 5 Stars
These speakers from Logitech are some of the finest I have ever had
and the sound quality ranges from good to great. I highly recommend
them for anybody who needs simple 2 piece speakers for their pc and
anybody who uses the internet, watches youtube videos and dvd's on their pc, listens to music and mp3's, and plays games, etc. These speakers are cheap
and deliver awesome sound quality for the price. Mine have fallen off my desk
a few times including one I have placed higher then the other and both including
the one that fell a few times are still working like new.
The sound is of course not the best sound bet still pretty awesome
and ranges from good to great or from 3 to 5 stars out of five as
I stated above.
The design is pretty good and saves space but my only complaint
is that the features are lacking as the speakers only have a power
button, volume button that you turn clockwise and counter clockwise
to turn the volume up and down and an input for headphone jacks.
Their are only a few cords that come with the speakers; one that
connects the right speaker to the left and one that connects one
speaker to the pc (actually for both speakers) and a power adaptor.
The cords are long about 2 feet at least mnaybe 3 at the most and
do not tangle or bunch up easily which is good.
Otherwise I give them 5 out of 5 stars.
Customer Review: Amazing value. Get it today!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for some computer speakers for my mac mini. These speakers are an excellent value! Great sound and very convenient.
Why I bought it:
- plug into the wall w/o a power adapter / "brick"
- has headset plug next to volume control -- super convenient if I ever need to switch to a headset, (no need to fumble in back of my computer)
- great sound for use in my room
- amazing price -- $12! insane
What this isnt:
This isn't a home theatre / wall-shaking bass sound system. I don't know why people complain of "not enough bass" from these $12 speakers. Simple solution: get a different set of speakers, these little guys are not to make your room vibrate. I personally don't like computer speakers w/ separate subwoofers. If I really need good sound (with truly deep bass) I'll just plug my computer in to my home theatre system and $1000 speakers, not into computer speakers. So, do yourself a favor and ignore people's reviews on how the bass is bad on these speakers. Classical music sounds excellent, electronic/dance sounds pretty good, rap/hip-hop sounds ok. (probably has to do w/ how the richness of the sound varies between these genres).
Bottom line: this is a no-brainer decision: get the speakers if you envision using them for normal use... if you plan to throw a house party, face it, $12 speakers aren't going to get you there.
Customer Review: Great desk speakers at a great price.
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased these for my girlfriend's desktop computer after her old speakers quit working. For the price (I paid eight bucks plus a few more for shipping), these simply cannot be beat.
Setup is easy, even for those that can't operate computers. Two plugs - one in the power strip, one into the tower. The volume knob is simple and easy to use, and there's a headphone jack. (I know I'm describing some really basic stuff, but you'd be surprised how some lower-end speakers lack these features.)
The sound clarity is great up to about 70% volume, which is typical of speakers in this price range. I'm listening to some light acoustic music on them at the moment around 40% volume, which I would consider normal usage - and I have no complaints at all.
Just for kicks, I played some heavier dubstep/electronic through them at a higher volume, and the response was still pretty decent. At half-volume, I can hear them clearly, 20 feet away in the kitchen while I'm making dinner.
If you're in the market for some basic computer speakers, these will do the job perfectly.
As a side note, they'll work when plugged into a headphone jack - so since they're somewhat small, you could almost travel with them if your laptop has bad speakers (most do) and you like to listen to music in your hotel room.
I'd definitely buy this product again.
